Description
I will introduce the concept of boosted dark matter, focussed on inelastic boosted dark matter (iBDM) model, as a promising alternative of the conventional WIMP models. In such a class of model, a light DM which is boosted enough to pass the energy threshold can come from dense dark matter region in the universe, such as the galactic center, the sun, dwarf spheroidal galaxies, showing unique signal features easily separable from potential backgrounds. This motivates totally new strategies in dark matter searches in large volume neutrino experiments and dark matter direct detection experiments.
